Christian Ilzer makes two changes following Hoffenheim's 2-0 defeat at Werder Bremen on Saturday.

Alexander Prass and Tim Lemperle start in place of the injured Adam Hlozek and Adam Daghim.

Hoffenheim: Baumann (GK), Abraha, Kabak, Machida, Rots, Kramarić, Burger, Avdullahu, Prass, Asllani, Lemperle.

Subs: Petersson (GK), Philipp (GK), Dulic, Bernardo, Daghim, Lenz, Poller, Fields, Lässig, Wagenbach.

Jean-Philippe Mateta starts for Palace as Pierre Sage makes three changes from the side which lost 2-0 to Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend.

Mateta, who was sent off against Spurs, will serve out his suspension in the Premier League, making him available to play versus Hoffenheim.

Elsewhere, Quinten Timber returns from a four-match absence, whilst Anan Khalaili and Honest Ahanor return to the starting line-up.

Eddie Nketiah, Dwight McNeil and Jorgen Strand Larsen could come on as substitutes in a very attacking bench selection.

Palace: Henderson (GK), Richards, Canvot, Ahanor, Khalaili, Timber, Wharton, Mitchell, Kamada, Pino, Mateta.

Subs: Benítez (GK), Benetton (GK), Mingueza, Kalembo, Williams, McNeil, Osorio, Nketiah, Strand Larsen.

Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of the UEFA Europa League match between Crystal Palace and Hoffenheim at Selhurst Park.

Pierre Sage has had a rough stint in charge of Palace since his arrival in the summer following Oliver Glasner's departure, and he is currently having to ride out the storm of one win in six of all competitions.

Christian Ilzer appears to have steadied the ship at Hoffenheim despite a poor start and will be looking to build on their first win of the UEFA Europa League, where they picked up a 3-0 home victory against Lyon.

Kick-off gets underway at 17:45 GMT/UK time.
